Small Steps of Progress

The latest change in Starkville may be considered "trashy" by some but most people will find the Camp administration's idea to paint all dumpsters maroon one of the small details that separate a town with a college from a great college town. I hope that Starkville will see more improvements like this over the next four years. From what I have heard, don't be surprised if you see maroon fire trucks in the next few years.

In a SDN article, Mayor Camp also outlined his upcoming goals, one of the most important being the conversion of Russell Street into a boulevard with sidewalks on each side to encourage pedestrian traffic. One of Camp's quotes in the article: "I love sidewalks."

Ron Burgundy: "Dan, are you just looking at things in the office and saying that you love them?"

Brick: "I love lamp."

If you're not laughing you haven't seen Anchorman enough.
